Put the vinyl flooring in and the closet. Advice: don't take the closet out. It's really hard to get back in right.

It's actually a peice of 3/4" Douglas fir plywood stained charcoal Gray. The stain turned out almost blue on the wood for some reason. Then some iron on edging and about 6 coats of varathane. Basically, it's what I had left over from doing the floor in the trailer.

So... It's been two whole years! I finished the interior of the trailer... We had a beautiful baby boy... And got to use the trailer once... Finally got the chance this year to tear the ceiling out of the trailer and fix the sagging roof issue that has bugged me. Just finished the roof last night and need to put the panelling back up. I also found a great way to remove those 40 year old decals!!

Looks absolutely amazing. You mentioned you painted it; is the paint a special product that goes over the gel coat or is it another layer of gel coat? I am trying to decide what to do with outside of mine and looking for ideas. I was thinking about just having the area where the stripes used to be repainted with the original orange color.

It's actually a marine type paint and primer meant for fibreglass boats. International paint, if my memory serves me right.

Looks better when it's near the ocean

Just got back from a trip to PEI. Don't let the pictures fool you. We did not go on the ferry. (There 2 hrs early and 3rd in line, but last on their priority list)

Had a great time at twin shores campground.... Highly Recommended!
